The Blue Mountain Resort catering team will cook up a variety of food for the event, available for an additional cost.

Goodman Fiske will perform Friday night, with M80 scheduled for Saturday.

General admission tickets — which include admission, a sampling glass and beer sampling — are $35 for Friday, with tickets for Saturday available for $35 in advance and $40 day of the event. Entrance tickets, which includes admission and two waters, but not alcohol, are also available. Tickets for designated drivers, which include admission and two non-alcoholic beverages, are $10.

In the film — released as the second entry in the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” franchise — teenager Jesse Walsh (Patton) begins to have recurring nightmares of Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) after moving into the home of Nancy Thompson, the heroine from the first film. Krueger is out to possess Walsh in order to kill in the real world.

David Chaskin wrote the screenplay for “A Nightmare on Elm Street 2,” which, according to Box Office Mojo, grossed $75.6 million in inflation-adjusted dollars, landing it in the middle of the nine-movie franchise.

Tickets are $10, and include the meet and greet, movie screening and Q&A. Autograph fees are $20 for Sholder and $25 for Patton.
